Travelers across Stanislaus County can face dangers at any time of the day or night when other motorists allow themselves to lose focus on the road.
Drivers might check an email on their cellphones or shift their attention to a passenger in the car with them and go several hundred feet before looking at the road. In this time, their vehicles can suddenly be in the path of another car, truck, or SUV.
A collision can leave drivers and passengers with serious injuries and in the worst cases claim precious lives.
Two Drivers Tragically Killed in Stanislaus County Collision
A head-on crash claimed two lives in western Stanislaus County early Thursday morning. CBS13-TV reports the accident occurred before 5 a.m. outside Patterson along W. Main Street near Jennings Road on September 23, 2021.
The California Highway Patrol says a car driven by a 47-year-old Turlock woman was heading west when the vehicle drifted into the oncoming lane. The car struck a pickup truck traveling eastbound driven by a 69-year-old man from Patterson. The pick-up truck caught fire.
Tragically, both drivers were pronounced dead at the scene. Highway Patrol Officers continue to investigate the circumstances of the accident.
Finding Help for Families After a Stanislaus County Accident
Families can be left to mourn a loved one and also face the extreme costs that can result from a devastating accident. The family may also suffer the sudden loss of the financial support a loved one may have provided through his or her job.
Through such a difficult emotional and financially vulnerable time, close relatives are permitted to file a wrongful death lawsuit against an at-fault driver’s insurance company. This civil lawsuit would seek to protect the family’s finances now and in the years to come.
The costs of a funeral service and burial, the emergency response fees, and other expenses would be covered for the family.
